Re: Password-protecting Anthill

You need the docBase because it points to the war location, just update it 
with the correct path.

Also you might want to try and remove the anthill directory from the webapps 
and work\Catalina\localhost locations and once they are recreated (by using 
the anthill.xml file) you can update the web.xml file in the WEB-INF 
directory (or you can edit the anthill.war file and edit the web.xml in 
there).
